The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordonnance, creating the Count de CAIF.S, Mi nister of General Police, a Peer of France. The following are extracts : " CHAMBER OF PEERS, JAx. 31. The Report of tie Special Committee oti the resolution of the Chamber of Diities, relative to the admission of its Members, was made by the Duke de Doudeauville, and ordered to be printed and divriboted. " The Chamber then formed itself into a Jo- dicial Co rt. " CHAMBER OF DEPUTTEs, .T.YC. 31. " The discussion on the Recruitment Prajet was resumed. The 16th Article was taken into corsideration, and after a short conversation agreed to. In Article 17, relative to the making out and publishing of the list of the contingent of each Canton, and the final'discharge of the young men not included in Lieut.-General the Count Dupont moved an atriendment, to the effect that the discharge should not be dual. '' M. Barthe-Labastide put the case of a cam paign sweeping off the whole of,the levy of the preceflin L t year, and suggested that the amend ment shvnl•l he to the effect that the discharge should he dual except in case ot' war. " discussion on this point was not entered into, it being deemed to belong more properly to Article 23, tl►e first of title-4, respecting the Ve- ter an Legions. " Art. 17. was then agreed to without pre judging any thing respecting Title 4 on the reSerVe. " In Article IS, respecting Substitutes, the amendment. proposed by the Committee was agreed to, limiting the age if beyond which a Substitute should not be received to 30, or if he Lad been a soldier to 35. The Article.with this, and another amendment of detail, was agreed to. " The Marquis de Dot is then moved an addi tion to the article, to the effect that if the young men of any Canton should produce a number of tub•titutes equal to the amount of its Contingent, such Canton should he exempted front any ballot, and also another addition respecting the replacing of deserters. " The Count Beugnot objected to Ole first pro position', that it would destroy altogether the 'hole system of the law, substituting for it a re cruitment by bounty, and converting France into a vast market for men, in which the Cantons would be contending with each other. " M. Planelli de la Valette and M. Paillot (lc Loynes snpported the amendment. " M. de Courvoisier (wined it, observing, that in the time of the Revolution, when the Can tons furnished their contingents in this manner, the men sent were generally the very worst soldiers. " M. Dupleix de Mczy proposed a sub-amend ment, to the effect that the ballot should never theless take place, and in case of one or more deserters, the young men first drawn should march to replace them, unless they found new sub stitutes. " After sonic further discussion, these amend ments and sub-amendment were got rid of by the previous question. Art. i 9, with an amendment proposed by the Committee, leaving the most complete latitude to the Government as to the distribution of the bal loted men in the respective corps, and also witl An amendment proposed by M. de Solilbac, for suppressing the depar►mental companies, was *greed to, " The discussion of Article 20 was postponed ill Monday.—Aliourned till NToodiiy. I.—The Duke de Bcrry is ,lightly indisposed. " An Ordonnance of Police was yosted nP yesterday:, fixing the price of Bread in Paris front this day at 13 sons (9d.) for the loaf of four pounds of the first quality, and 13 sorts (61d.) for that of the second qualiCy. "We learn front 'Geneva, tlr the religions assemblies of puritans there have recommenced with more ardour than ever. " Tire Duke of Wellington and suite arrived lien: yesterday evening at nine o'clock. " FIVE PER CENTS. " Saturday ... 66 f. 60 c. " VIHNNA, JAN. 21.—The Porte has .made se veral efforts to induce the Pacha of Egypt to ab ,tain from certain acts which may be regarded as acts of sovereignty, but hitherto without effect. The Pacha, however, does not fail to send rich presents to the Grand Seignior. ALB!, JAN. 13.—Madame Manson is seriously indisposed. The two interrogatories to w tiich she has been subjected hare had a great effect upon her. " VIENNA, JAN. • 17.—The new Viceroy of Lombardy will reside alternately at Venice and ; sometimes also at Mantua. " BERLIN, JAN. 17.—The King has met with an accident, by making a false step on a staircase, by which his leg is 'sounded. His Majesty, how ever, is not in any danger." The British Public may form a shrewd guess at the state of affairs in time revolted Colonies of Spain, when they find, by our Ship News, that their chief Champion, Sir Gneooß M'GREGOR, arrived on Monday at Liverpool. The chief subject of Debate yesterday in Par liament related to the expected Restrictions on Bank Payments in Cash ; but as we give a co pious Report of Parliamentary Proceedings in another portion of our Paper, it is not necessary that we should do more than repeat what we have before said on the occasion. We refer to Lord LIVERPOOL'S Speech, which, upon the same principles which were urged a few nights ago in the House of Commons by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, 11111 St ,have satisfied all men who are not hunting for every occasion to attack the measures of Govern Merit. If the proposed Re striction should not take place, we shall, in a short time, have no Gold in the Country, but what is withheld from the circulation by avarice and other motives, or what i 3, from its intrinsic vabie, sacrificed to mercenary interests. The pe cuniary negociations now on foot with Foreign States, and other considerationS, render the mat ter so clear, that it cannot be puzzled by party spirit, and all objections seem indeed to have that only for its foundation. On the subject of the Internal State of the Country, the papers rela tive to which had been laid on the table of the House, of Lords, a Committee is to be ballotted for on Thursday ; who are to take those papers into consideration, and give their Report on the same. It has been stated in some of the Morning Papers, that a Treaty of Marriage is on foot be tween the Princess ELIZABETH and a Prince of an ancient House in Gern►auy. As this report is rife in the fashionable circles, and seems, indeed, to gather strength, it becomes us to take some notice of what so essentially relates to the interests of the Country, and which, it► its consequences, may be come still more an object of importance to the Bri tish Empire. The Princess is, by all accounts, one of the most amiable, accomplished, anti intelli gent of her sex. Not a day has ever passed in which some benevolent and laudable action has not marked her career, and in losing her, though for her own happiness, we should lose one of the brightest ornaments•of the Country. Nor should we feel less regret on account of our amiable QUEEN, notwithstanding the mysterious reluc tance of Mr. CAr.caAFT to offer Parliamentary consolation to ilea MAJESTY orl the late tuitional loss, as the Princess ELIZABETH has been the chief companion or her Royal Mother for many years, and is the more necessary.to her MAJESTY'S comfort on account of the situation of our vener able Sovereign. We are induced to bring forward this subjecs, though it has been treated with dis trust in whet Journals, because we are inclined to believe that it has a stronger founiation than generally marks Court Rumours, Newspaper Re ports, or the gossiping of fashionable dicks. A Dutch Mail arrived last night, with Papers to the Ist instant. They contain sonic details of the proceedings of the Second Chamber of the States General respecting Finance, in which several Members objected to the Ministerial Estimates, t►articnlarly of Military Expenditure ; but the Go vernment carried their measures by a considerable majority. One of them contains the following article : " Fitom THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, JAN. 27. " The Duke of WELLINGTON is Said to be charged with most important negotiations at Paris, and it is asserted that some of the Allied Powers are inclined to pay some regard, in their demands, to the state of the finances of France. " The opinion at head-quarters is, that the late discussions in Paris have too fully proved the existence of dangerous parties in France for the Allied Sovereigns to think of with drawing or diminishing the Army of Occepation." LLOYD'S, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—The Spanish sHp Perla, from Cadiz to Lima, has been taken by an Insurgent privateer, and carried itito Valparaiso. Porn-Ea.—We heartily rejoice in the opportu nity afforded us of congrculating the Public on a Reduction in the price of this article. THE GOLDEN LANE BREWERY, we find, bas noti fied its deference to public opinion, on the de monstrated injustice of the late rise, and has re duced its charge to SL-d per pot. There can be little doubt that the other great Brewers will fol low this example, and then, if the reduction be comes general, upwards of A THOUSAND POUNDS DAILY will be preserved to the labouring classes, throng') the exertions of a single individual, aided by a free and patriotic Press, in which we pride ourselves in having taken a conspicuous part. If the other Brewers, however, hold out, they will furnish an additional proof, it. any were wanting, of the mischief - attending the arbitrary Licensing System by corrupt Magistrates, which, by inter dicting the opening of new houses, prevents. the public in general from enjoying the advantage of the reduced price. But at all events the general importance of Competition will be manifest. On a former occasion, in IBt , this same Golden Lane Brewery saved the labouring classes of the Me tropolis, in one year's consumption, by causing a reduction equal to a penny per quart nearly A MILLION STERLING ! ! The indignation and disgust which we felt on reading the account of the Proceedings at the Crown and Anchor on Monday last, - prevented our making any remarks yesterday upon the nature of that Meeting, and we, indeed, hesitated upon the question whether we should follow the ex ample of a respectable Morning Print of yester day, in not suffering the columns of our loyal Journal to be disgraced by the insertion of such seditious trash as was uttered by the respec tive Speakers. But as the impudence, the absurdity, the folly, and the wickedness of those Speakers, evidently carried their own antidote with them, and as our numerous Country Readers have a right to know what . Misses in the Metropolis, we sacrificed our own feelings, and our own opinions on the occasion, in order to gratify their curiosity. As to the Speakers in general., they are hackneyed in 'in famy, and it is evident from what they did say, that if it were not for the fear of Law, they would have uttered nothing but doctrines of TREAsoN and incentives to REBELLION. Indeed, in our opinion, the Meeting consisted of nothing but a band of Fools, Knaves, and Rebels, and the very thring outrages upon decency, order, and law which occurred, afford the fullest proof of the falsehood of their complaints of a want of popu lar freedom, since in no other country in the world would they have escaped a well-merited punish ment for their licentious attacks upon every thing essential to good government, the welfare, and even the existence of society. Having taken so active a part as we have long done, in support ing our Ecclesiastical Establishment against the pretensions of POPERY, as to have our Paper desig nated by the title of "Tit E PAtisoN's Pat NT," a title of which we are proud, as it decidedly marks the conduct which we have pursued, we could not but feel shocked that a Clergyman should have appeared among this band of rebellions Reformers, who disgraced himself so much (such men can be no disgrace to their sacred order, of which they are to be considered as black sheep), as to jain in the sentiments uttered by the most furious of the despicable Demagogues present. We will not advise this Clergyman to resort to his Pulpit instead of a Tavern, for he seems much better qoa lified for the latter place, and unless he repents of his political errors, we hope he will never again be seen in the former. Upon the whole, disgrace ful, infamous, and wicked as the Meeting was, it demonstrates the freedom which we enjoy, and recurring to its purpose. of rewarding Sedition, as its promoters had recently done by Se. dilion awl Blasphemy united, we shook' not be surprized if these liberal Patrons of Rebellion were to endeavour to discover the Relations of ABERsHAW, and WILLIAMS, the MURDERER of the MARE family, in order to bestow bounty on them as the 'survivors of those who fell victims to such a prejudiced Wile of society as has hitherto been pliversolly deemed essential to the existence of whatever relates to the SECnRITY OF PIWPRRTY, and the WELFARE OF MANKIND. SHIP NEWS. v E mot., FEB. 2.—A t rived the Ewart, FISUE E , from Nassau, N. P. with S4r GREnOrt M'GRRooR passenger on board.
